MOTION OF A CIRCULATING POWER-LAW DROP TRANSLATING THROUGH NEWTONIAN FLUIDS AT INTERMEDIATE REYNOLDS NUMBERS

1989-6
Gürkan, Türker
The equations of motion for the flow of a power-law fluid sphere in a Newtonian continuous phase have been approximately satisfied by Galerkin's method: External and internal stream functions have been obtained for the following ranges of variables: 10-50 for Re0, 0.1-1000 for the viscosity ratio parameters, X, and 0.6-1.0 for the dispersed phase power-law index, ni,. It is predicted that pseudoplasticity in the dispersed phase causes a reduction in the circulation within the drop and that it has a minor effect on the drag coefficients and the rates of mass transfer in the continuous phase

EVALUATION OF SECOND VIRIAL COEFFICIENTS FROM SATURATION DATA
Orbey, H.; Orbey, N. (Informa UK Limited, 1989-3)
A data reduction technique is introduced for the evaluation of second virial coefficients of gases at subcritical temperatures. The method makes use of the vapor-liquid equilibrium data, i.e., temperature, saturation pressure, liquid and vapor molar volumes and can be used to obtain second virial coefficients of a wide variety of fluids including polar, associating and quantum gases. The calculated second virial coefficients are in good agreement with their counterparts from literature, which are obtained f...
THERMAL AND MASS DIFFUSIVITY FROM DYNAMIC SINGLE PELLET EXPERIMENTS
DOGU, G; CABBAR, C; Doğu, Timur (Informa UK Limited, 1991-01-01)
The single-pellet moment techniques previously developed for the evaluation of effective diffusion coefficient and effective thermal conductivity of a porous solid are combined and a procedure is proposed for the simultaneous evaluation of these constants from a single set of pulse response experiments. It is shown that both temperature and concentration response curves can be measured from a single pulse of oxygen injected into hydrogen carrier gas flowing past a catalyst pellet. It is shown that the zerot...
Numerical simulation of radiating flows
Karaismail, Ertan; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005)
Predictive accuracy of the previously developed coupled code for the solution of the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the radiative transfer equation was first assessed by applying it to the prediction of thermally radiating, hydrodynamically developed laminar pipe flow for which the numerical solution had been reported in the literature. The effect of radiation on flow and temperature fields was demonstrated for different values of conduction to radiation ratio. It was found that ...
FINITE VOLUME SIMULATION OF 2-D STEADY SQUARE LID DRIVEN CAVITY FLOW AT HIGH REYNOLDS NUMBERS
YAPICI, KERİM; Uludağ, Yusuf (FapUNIFESP (SciELO), 2013-10-01)
In this work, computer simulation results of steady incompressible flow in a 2-D square lid-driven cavity up to Reynolds number (Re) 65000 are presented and compared with those of earlier studies. The governing flow equations are solved by using the finite volume approach. Quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinematics (QUICK) is used for the approximation of the convective terms in the flow equations. In the implementation of QUICK, the deferred correction technique is adopted. A non-uniform st...
Acidity characterization and adsorption characteristics of cobalt and lead doped SBA15 mesoporous materials
Güner, Özge; Üner, Deniz; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007)
In this study, the surface acidity of Co and/or Pb doped SBA15 mesoporous catalysts were investigated by both diffuse reflectance fourier transform (DRIFT) infrared spectroscopy and transmission mode fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Pyridine was used to identify the Brønsted and Lewis acid sites of the surface, at room temperature. From the DRIFT spectrum typical stretching vibrations of isolated terminal silanol (Si-OH) groups were observed for all the catalysts. These silanol group bands dissappea...
